BERLIN, February 22d-P. M.-The Ma
tOnGt Zeit,ilg, commenting upon the cleo
ton. says: The results, az far as known,
give presage of a brilliant septennate vic
tory. The results ascertained this afternoon
include twenty-siI seats won from the
Reichstag majority of January 14th. while
the National Liberals have wrested FROM
their opponents twenty-three districts, of
which twelve were lost by New German
Liberals, three by Centrists, five by Social
lists and three by Democrats. The New
German Liberals have veritably suffered a
crushing defeat"
The NaclTichten says: +" If any conclu-
sion can be drawn from general sum
mary Of the results, the prospects of the
National parties are decidedly favorable
The sound sense of the German people
has met the disgraceful experiments in the
agitation of the apostles of revolution
with resistance which was evidently not
expected by the allied opposition parties.
Accordingly, among the latter there pre-
walls general disappointment. Among the
New German Liberals feeling of intense
dismay is plainly discerned between the
high-sounding phrases of their party press.
If the outcome of the elections is such as
to leave our enemies In no doubt as to the
fact that we are firmly determined to de-
fend ourselves to the utmost for the pro-
lection of the Fatherland, and are ready to
make ali sacrifices when the Emperor asks.
then the maintenance OF peace is perhaps
secured
II is reported in official circles that the
Emperor will summon the Reichstag to
meet, without waiting for supplementary
elections 10 be held, as soon as the verified
returns show the election of sufficient
number Of Deputies to constitute q quorum.
